This chapter establishes procedures for issuance of a certificate of zoning review for uses requiring Class (3) review.

(Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

Class (3) review is required for any proposed use shown on Table 17.04.030 as a Class (3) use; for Class (2) uses referred by the administrative official for Class (3) review: and for other specific reviews established by this title.

(Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

Applications for certificates of zoning review for Class (3) uses shall be made, in writing, to the administrator, on forms supplied by the city. A detailed site plan conforming to the provisions of Section 17.11.050 shall accompany the application for Class (3) review. The administrator shall forward the application and site plan to the hearing examiner for review.

(Ord. 2407 (part), 2004: Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

Applications for Class (3) review shall be processed as prescribed in Title 18.

(Ord. 2407 (part), 2004: Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

In granting a Class (3) review, conditions and safeguards may be prescribed which are in conformity with adopted plans, policies, and this title, and which are necessary to protect the best interest of the immediate neighborhood, surrounding area, or the city as a whole. These conditions and safeguards may include, but are not limited to, the following:

A.

Increase the required lot size, setback, or yard dimensions;

B.

Limit the height of buildings or structures;

C.

Control the number and location of vehicular access points;

D.

Require the designation of public use easements or drainage easements and their recording with the county auditor's office;

E.

Require the dedication of additional rights-of-way for future public street improvements;

F.

Increase the number of required off-street parking and/or loading spaces;

G.

Limit the size, shape, location, and lighting of signs;

H.

Require view-obscuring fencing, landscaping, diking or other facilities to protect adjacent or nearby properties;

I.

Designation of sites and/or size of open space or recreational areas;

J.

Site reclamation upon discontinuance of use and/or expiration or revocation of the Class (3) review;

K.

The construction of pedestrian facilities consistent with the comprehensive plan;

L.

Set a time for public hearing to afford a review of the Class (3) review;

M.

Improvements to streets, sewers, water system, and such other public facilities to maintain concurrency, as required by this title.

(Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

A time limit shall be prescribed within which the action for which the Class (3) review was granted shall begin, be completed, or both. Unless otherwise specified, the action shall commence within six months and shall be completed within eighteen (18) months of issuance of the permit. The planning commission, however, may authorize a onetime extension of either or both dates, after the review of an extension request at a public meeting, provided that such an extension request was filed prior to the expiration date for which the extension was requested. Such request shall detail the circumstances that prohibited the commencement, completion, or both, of the permit as authorized. The length of such time extension, if authorized, shall not exceed eighteen (18) additional months.

(Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

No use requiring review by the planning commission shall be entitled to a development permit until and unless the planning commission approves a final site plan and authorizes issuance of a certificate of zoning review. The certificate of zoning review is not a building or development permit and does not, by itself, authorize the construction or occupancy of any use or structure.

(Ord. 2274 § 1 (part), 2000)

Decisions of the hearing examiner, of a Class (3) review, may be appealed in accordance with Chapter 18.70.
